Keylor Navas now has Spanish citizenship

"Today is a hugely important day for me both personally and professionally", said the goalkeeper.

Keylor Navas obtained Spanish citizenship today after pledging an oath of allegiance to the King and his obedience to the Constitution. "Today is a hugely important day for me both personally and professionally. I've dreamt about this day since coming to Spain to play football and doing it as a Real Madrid player fills me with pride", declared the Costa Rican goalkeeper, who came to Spain in 2010. After spells with Albacete and Levante, he signed for Real Madrid last summer.
